Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 138 Bibi Dong's Ambushe

"Do you know what our mission is?"

Bibi Dong's calm voice rang out among the five people.

The five Title Douluos were slightly taken aback, exchanged glances, and finally, Yue Guan, the Chrysanthemum Douluo who had followed Bibi Dong the longest, stepped forward and said, "Your Holiness, isn't the target of this trip Tang San, the son of that sinner Tang Hao?"

"Does Tang San really require the deployment of five Title Douluos?"

Bibi Dong smiled contemptuously: "Tang San, this bastard born of Tang Hao and a soul beast, is just a decoy. Your real target is Xiao Yu, the young master of the Nine Star Palace!"

Bibi Dong wasn't really keen on killing Tang San. After all, if Tang Hao hadn't seriously injured Qian Xunji, how could she have had the chance to kill the enemy who ruined her reputation? In a sense, Tang Hao should still be considered her benefactor.

However, in front of the Spirit Hall's subordinates, she needed to put on a show, pretending to be irreconcilably opposed to Tang Hao.

Similarly, Qian Daoliu, who knew the real culprit who killed his son, wasn't particularly concerned about killing Tang San. He still had to give face to his old friend Tang Chen, and of course, he was also wary of this level 99 peerless Douluo. Otherwise, in the original story, Tang Hao wouldn't have been so arrogant at the entrance of the Spirit Hall; he would have killed him with a single slap.

Both leaders adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards Tang Hao and his son Tang San, while those below, unaware of the truth, constantly called for the destruction of Tang Hao and the Haotian Sect.

When the five elders heard Bibi Dong mention Xiao Yu's name, their expressions all changed. They had already seen the information Salas had sent back about the advancement matches: nineteen years old, level sixty-six, with a soul ring combination far exceeding the best configuration, a second ring of the millennium, a fourth ring of the ten-thousand-year, and also possessing a dragon-type right arm soul bone of extremely high quality.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and the other four had every reason to believe that, given the talent Xiao Yu was currently displaying, he would reach the pinnacle of the Soul Master world in no more than thirty or even twenty years.

If such a prodigy were to fall into the hands of an enemy force, the Spirit Hall should indeed spare no effort to eliminate him before he has fully matured.

The problem is that Xiao Yu doesn't seem to be their enemy. As the highest-ranking elder in the Spirit Hall, they naturally know about Qian Renxue's existence, that Qian Renxue has formed an alliance with Xiao Yu, and even that Qian Daoliu once warned Bibi Dong not to attack the Nine Star Hall.

Bibi Dong's order clearly did not align with Qian Daoliu's wishes. The group exchanged troubled glances, knowing they couldn't withstand a single blow from a level 99 Peerless Douluo.

"Your Holiness the Pope!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo forced himself to speak, "Didn't the Grand Elder say that we are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Nine Star Palace, let alone the young master's side?"

A hint of jealousy flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes. If Xiao Gang had Xiao Yu's talent, how could she have been seduced by Qian Xunji and given birth to Qian Renxue? "Xiao Yu's talent will surely make him a peerless Douluo in the future. How could such a prodigy be willing to be subordinate to the Spirit Hall? She's still young; she's just been blinded by a man's sweet words!"

How dare you say that!

Chrysanthemum Douluo has been in the Spirit Hall for fifty or sixty years, so he knows all too well what happened between Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang. Xiao Yu, whom Qian Renxue has taken a liking to, is at least exceptionally talented. It's not strange for a girl to have a crush on someone. What kind of person is the one you've taken a liking to?

However, Chrysanthemum Douluo only dared to secretly complain in his heart, and dared not say it out loud in front of Bibi Dong.

As one of the earliest elders to follow Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo was well aware of Bibi Dong's strength. Although Bibi Dong was not yet as strong as Qian Daoliu, she was more than capable of dealing with them.

Bibi Dong, who broke through to the Title Douluo level in her thirties, made Tang Hao, the so-called youngest Title Douluo, look like a joke.

Bibi Dong seemed to sense their concerns and continued, "Don't worry, on the battlefield, soul skills are unpredictable. As long as you don't say anything, who will know that you did this intentionally? Do you really think the High Priest would make you pay with your lives for a dead person? This Pope will never allow the High Priest to do something like cutting off his own arm!"

The group had already boarded Bibi Dong's pirate ship. Seeing that Bibi Dong's mind was made up, they could no longer persuade her and took their leave.

After the group had walked away, Bibi Dong stood up, her gaze cold and ruthless, like a gleaming blade, as she stared in the direction of Heaven Dou City. She muttered to herself, "A nineteen-year-old Soul Emperor... his talent is already comparable to a six-winged angel at the twentieth level of the Innate Realm. Is this the support you've found? You want to rely on him to rebel against me? Dream on!"

. . . . . . . . . .

Three days later, including the first team from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy who directly advanced to the finals, there were a total of fifteen teams. Originally, there should have been sixteen teams, but due to the Elephant Armor Academy's violation of the rules, they were directly disqualified from the competition. Escorted by five hundred Royal Knights soldiers and led by Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, they marched in a grand procession towards Wuhun City.

Aside from the fact that the academy team is slightly different from the original work, there is one more person in the team, namely Princess Xueke.

After returning, Qian Renxue made up a reason for Xiao Yu to refuse Xue Ye's marriage proposal. However, just as she described, Xue Ye was someone who would not give up until he achieved his goal. He immediately ordered Qian Renxue to take Xue Ke with her to Wuhun City when she set off.

The journey from Heaven Dou City to Spirit City takes about twenty days. Xue Ye instructed Qian Renxue to find ways to create more opportunities for the two of them to be alone together along the way, so as to cultivate their relationship.

Xiao Yu's private life is no secret. He already has two confidantes, Ye Lingling and Huo Wu. Xue Ye doesn't think Xiao Yu is a gentleman who can remain unmoved by women. Xue Ye is quite confident in her daughter's appearance.

As long as Xiao Yu is willing to marry his daughter, he can tolerate the existence of Ye Lingling and Huo Wu.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yu never intended to get involved with the Heaven Dou royal family from the very beginning. As for Qian Renxue, she would have to be crazy to push Xiao Yu toward the Heaven Dou royal family.

Xue Ke grew up spoiled by her father and brothers, and was not a shrewd politician. Instead, she was somewhat naive and innocent, making it all too easy for Qian Renxue to scheme against her.

With Xiao Yu deliberately avoiding her and Qian Renxue's help, Xue Ke not only failed to spend time alone with Xiao Yu to cultivate their relationship, but she could even count the number of times they met on her fingers.

Later, the perceptive Ye Lingling also noticed something was wrong and privately sought out Qian Renxue to ask her why.

Qian Renxue thought to herself that since Ye Lingling already knew her identity, she revealed Xueye's plan and sincerely invited Ye Lingling to join her and Xiao Yu.

Ye Lingling didn't have much affection for the Heavenly Dou royal family either, so she decisively formed an alliance with Qian Renxue, which made Xue Ke even less of a chance.
